CTT - Correios de Portugal, SA, (Portuguese Postes), alleging the need to streamline the sorting/treatment and home-delivery of mail, outsourced to a company of the CTT Group - the DTE - the processing of mail from large customers and, in different areas throughout the country, and areas of home-delivery mail.



By doing this the CTT’s want to change the Postmen’s working hours and cut out bonuses that were already part of the monthly salary (monthly cutting of + / - 270.00 Euros). The union said that if we allow that to occur, it will be a cut of 270.00 Euros on net wages of, an average postman's salary of 950.00 Euros and this will mean a cut equivalent to 25% of monthly income of most of the Portuguese Postmen’s.



Responding to such a move by CTT, the Portuguese Postmen’s from the largest CTT Delivery Centres, whether they are SNTCT members or not, will be in Partial or General Strike for 1 or 2 days, depending on the location, between April 26th and May 7th.
